> what are the long term consequences of taking (alprazolam)?

Drug dependence and an inability to cope with stress/anxiety without the drug. Benzodiazepines are useful to alleviate panic attacks, but they’re not a great way to manage general anxiety, due to the drawbacks.

Making lifestyle/personal/environmental changes and removing stressors is the key to managing long term anxiety for most people, not drugs.
